White Chocolate Citrus Jam Bites

The creamy white chocolate, enriched with a hint of coconut, perfectly envelopes the bright, tangy citrus jam, making the White Chocolate Citrus Jam Bites a delightful treat that's hard to resist. Try these delicious bite sized snacks next time you've got guests or craving the ideal little snack!

You’ve arrived at the perfect destination for delightful treats that are as fun to make as they are to eat! Today, we’re embracing the timeless duo of chocolate and orange with a twist. These White Chocolate Citrus Jam Bites are not just a treat; they’re a celebration of flavor, combining the creamy bliss of dairy-free white chocolate with the tangy zest of homemade citrus jam. Ready in a snap, these bites are perfect for when you need a quick dessert fix or a bright snack to brighten your day. This no-bake treat not only features my delicious 3 ingredient citrus chia jam but also combines simple, wholesome ingredients together in a process that is both fun and fuss-free! These bites are a foolproof way to bring a little brightness and joy into your snack time or dessert spread.

Ingredients You’ll Need to Make These Jam Bites

  • Vegan White Chocolate: I love white chocolate as it always offers a creamy and luscious texture that melts in your mouth. It’s the perfect canvas for the vibrant citrus jam, contrasting wonderfully with its tangy sweetness. These are just as delicious with dark chocolate too so feel free to choose whatever your favorite chocolate is!
  • Coconut Oil: A touch of coconut oil is mixed with the white chocolate to achieve a smoother, more manageable consistency that’s easier to work with when coating our jam bites. It also adds a subtle hint of tropical flavor that compliments the citrus notes beautifully.
  • Homemade Citrus Jam: The heart of these bites lies in the zesty, homemade citrus chia jam.  If you haven’t made that recipe then no sweat! Go make it and come back hehe. Seriously though any jam will do but this citrus jam infuses these bites with a burst of fresh, tangy sweetness and adds a gorgeous color that makes each bite visually appealing. Using my homemade jam also allows you to control the sweetness and ensure there are no unnecessary additives, making these treats as wholesome as they are delicious!

What Citrus To Use?

While I adore making this treat with my homemade citrus chia jam for its punchy and vibrant flavor, feel free to experiment with any citrus jam of your choice. Whether it’s lime, orange, or even grapefruit, the key is to find a flavor that compliments the sweetness of the white chocolate and brings a refreshing zest to the bites.

How to Make White Chocolate Citrus Jam Bites

Making our White Chocolate Citrus Jam Bites is a sweet and simple process that begins with melting vegan white chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave. Use 30-second intervals to carefully melt the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. You could also opt for double boiling these over the stove if a microwave isn’t available. This blend forms the silky shell of our bites. Next, take your silicone moulds and coat the bottom and sides with a thin layer of the melted chocolate mix. This step creates the perfect pocket for our citrusy center. Pop the moulds into the freezer for a quick set, which should take just a minute or two.

Once the first layer of chocolate is set, it’s time to bring in the star of the show – the citrus jam. Spoon a teaspoon of this zesty jam into each chocolate-coated mould. The amount of jam can be adjusted depending on the size of your moulds. After filling, cover the jam with another layer of melted white chocolate, sealing the citrusy goodness inside. Return the moulds to the freezer for another brief chill to solidify the final layer, making sure everything is perfectly set.

After the final freeze, your White Chocolate Citrus Jam Bites are almost ready. Take the moulds out of the freezer, and add a final touch by drizzling them with any remaining white chocolate for a beautiful, professional finish. A quick return to the freezer ensures everything is set. This doesn’t take long and I know you’re probably antsy to try them so pop one out and give it a bite!

How Long Do These White Chocolate Citrus Jam Bites Last?

Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, these delightful bites can last up to two weeks, making them a great make-ahead treat for gatherings, gifts, or just to have on hand for when sweet cravings strike.

Have fun creating these jam bites! There is no wrong way to do them and they are a great activity to share with the kiddos! Have no baking, baking!

Pumpkin Protein Energy Bites

Indulge in Pumpkin Protein Energy Bites for a healthy, no-bake treat! Packed with protein, omega-3s, and pumpkin goodness, these bites are great for workouts, meal prep, or satisfying your sweet tooth in a nutritious way.

Pumpkin season may have come and gone but does the craving for all things pumpkin ever really disappear? Who says it has to be fall to enjoy pumpkin? After all it has so many benefits and we all wait for pumpkin spice season for like 11 months out of the year so I thought “Let’s enjoy the things we love WHENEVER we want them!” This snack is so easy that you’ll be wondering about all the other ways to make them (which I will share with you!) These Pumpkin Protein Energy Balls are a snack that’s nutritious, no-bake, packed with protein, and brimming with pumpkin flavour. Whether you’re looking for a post-workout snack, a meal prep-friendly option, or just a healthy treat, these energy bites have got you covered.

All the Necessary Ingredients These Pumpkin Protein Energy Balls

  • OWYN Chocolate and Vanilla Protein Powders: This protein powder is a go-to for me because it always provides a clean, plant-based protein and it includes probiotics for gut health.
  • Gluten-Free Quick Cooking Oats: A great source of fiber and energy-sustaining carbohydrates, choosing a certified gluten free oat is only necessary if it’s your preference, any quick cooking oat will do.
  • Creamy Unsweetened Peanut Butter: You know I love me some healthy fats and proteins and peanut butter is one of my favorite ways to get them. You can use any nut butter of your preference but I think peanut goes nicely with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Pumpkin Purée: The most important ingredient of this recipe! Loaded with vitamins, minerals, and a smooth, creamy flavour, pumpkin puree is a great way to use pumpkin in any recipe.
  • Maple Syrup: A natural sweetener adding just the right amount of sweetness.
  • Chia Seeds: Packed with omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
  • Pumpkin Seeds: A crunchy source of nutrients and protein.
  • Vegan Mini Chocolate Chips or Cocoa Nibs: For a touch of chocolatey indulgence and the perfect amount of crunch.
  • Vanilla and Cinnamon: Add aromatic flavours that complement the pumpkin making things a bit more decadent.

Creating these Vegan Energy Balls

This is honestly the easiest recipe ever and I LOVE making vegan energy balls in a variety of flavors! Literally ALL you need to do is mix all ingredients in one bowl and then divide the batch based on which protein powders you feel like creating. Variety is a big amount of the fun which is why I typically split the batter in half and then add chocolate protein to one bowl and vanilla to the other. After that, you mix one more time and do the most fun part which is to get your hands a little messy and continue the process of scooping and rolling! After that let these bites set in the fridge and in no time, you’ve got a batch of yummy, protein-packed snacks!

Why These Energy Balls Are a Must-Try

My Pumpkin Protein Energy Bites are more than just a snack; they’re a smart, tasty way to fuel your body. Perfect for any time of day, these bites are a great balance of flavour and nutrition, and they’re sure to satisfy both your hunger and your taste buds. It’s so easy to reach for snacks that are not as healthy, not as nutritious and not homemade but that’s exactly why I am sharing this recipe. I truly believe that you can work towards eating more healthy in small ways by doing things like creating snacks like this and keeping them on hand. Share them with your family or keep them all to yourself; having a high protein snack on hand is always a good thing!

A Few Special Notes

Feel free to swap out peanut butter for any nut, chickpea, or seed butter, especially if you have allergies. And while I adore OWYN protein for its clean ingredients and added greens, feel free to use your preferred protein powder.

So, let’s get mixing and rolling with these delightful Pumpkin Protein Energy Bites.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Muffins

Indulge guilt-free with Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Muffins. Vegan, gluten-free, and bursting with flavor, they're a powerhouse of nutrients. Perfect for pre-workouts, snacks, or satisfying your sweet tooth.

Ah, the time-old love story: chocolate and peanut butter. It’s a combination that’s been winning hearts across the globe. But when this classic duo gets a nutritious twist, you’ve got something truly unforgettable.

With many of us seeking healthier alternatives to our favorite treats, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the countless ‘healthy’ recipes out there. Yet, this one stands out, not just for its taste but for its health benefits too.

What you will need for these Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Muffins

  • BANANAS: Are one of the best bases for muffins and cakes. They add not only natural sweetness but they instantly give muffins a moist and dense texture. Which is essential when baking with protein powder. As it easily dries out baked goods. Be sure to use brown, spotting over ripe bananas for the best texture and flavor. Which is great since I know we all end up with those bananas! Now you have a great use for them!!
  • OAT FLOUR: Using oat flour is perfect for my gluten free peeps out there. You could sub for almond flour if needed. 
  • GROUND FLAX: Using flax yo make a vegan ‘egg substitute is amazing and adds healthy fiber to the muffins. You simply add 1 tbsp of ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water and mix well before adding to the batter ! 
  • MAPLE SYRUP: The perfect natural sweetener in baking. If you’re not vegan, you could use honey. But stick to natural. It keeps these muffins refined sugar free and healthy! 
  • COCONUT OIL: Using healthy oils to cook and bake with is such an easy swap and you’ll only reap benefits. I chose coconut oil for this recipe. Which adds a lovely tropical flavor with the banana. You could sub for avocado oil. 
  • VEGAN CHOCOLATE PROTEIN POWDER: Bring on the choc!! This will bring on that beautiful chocolate flavor that marries so perfectly with the banana and peanut butter! I always choose KOS vegan superfood protein powders, especially when baking. They are so clean and full of superfoods. Boosting nutritional value and the taste in my opinion is unrivaled. Just be sure to choose a protein powder you like the taste of as the flavor will be dominant 🙂 
  • PEANUT BUTTER: Creamy rich pb is the ultimate protein and flavor boost. It also adds a dense texture. Rich texture to the muffins and pairs so well with dark chocolate. I used smooth peanut butter but feel free to get funky with crunchy! Just be sure you use a natural pb. Without added sugars and preservatives 
  • VEGAN DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Adding that beautiful melt in your mouth pop of chocolate! I used 60% dark chocolate. The HU brand is just amazing! 

These muffins not only cater to your sweet cravings but also ensure that you’re fueled up with all the right nutrients. They’re a delightful blend of natural sweetness, protein-packed goodness, and a touch of indulgence.

Whether you’re preparing for a hectic week ahead, looking for a post-workout snack, or simply want something sweet and healthy to munch on, these muffins are your answer. They’re incredibly easy to make, and the aroma that fills your kitchen as they bake is nothing short of heavenly.

Their texture is a dream—soft, moist, and with a slight crunch from the chocolate chips. Plus, the combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana is irresistibly good.

Eating healthily doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice taste. With these Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Muffins, you get the best of both worlds. They’re a testament to the fact that with the right ingredients, you can turn any treat into a nutrient-rich delicacy. So, go ahead and treat yourself—you deserve it!

Creating the Spooky Mummy Rice Krispie Treats:

Melting the Chocolate

We kick off the spooky adventure by melting vegan milk chocolate with a dash of coconut oil. This luscious mixture becomes the glue that holds our treats together.

Mummy Base

In a large bowl, we combine nut butter, melted chocolate, and activated charcoal. The result? A bewitching black base that’s ready to embrace our Rice Krispies.

Rice Krispie Bliss

Once our base is ready, we introduce gluten-free Rice Krispies to the party. After a thorough mix, we transfer spoonfuls of this delightful concoction into mini muffin silicone molds.

White Chocolate Drizzle

While our mummies take shape in the fridge, we melt vegan white chocolate with a touch of coconut oil. This creamy goodness becomes the canvas for our mummy bandages. We either use a piping bag or a spoon to create those iconic mummy wraps.

Candy Eyes

No mummy is complete without its eyes! We add two candy eyes to each treat for that adorable, slightly eerie touch.

Final Touch

With a piping bag or a spoon, we drizzle extra white chocolate over the bites to mimic mummy bandages. It’s the finishing touch that brings these treats to life (or should we say, to the afterlife?).

The Beauty of Nice Cream

Nice cream is a magical creation that allows us to enjoy the pleasures of ice cream while keeping things dairy-free and guilt-free. It’s like a bowl of happiness that’s kind to your body. And this Mint Chocolate Chip version takes it to a whole new level.

The Nice Cream Ingredients that Shine!

  • CACAO NIBS: this right here you guys! CACAO NIBS! If you haven’t tried these amazing crunchy morsels that are actually crushed up dried  cacao beans you are missing out! It’s like all the fun of chocolate without any of the bad stuff! Haha the amazing crunchy texture is a gamecher here, giving you that amazing chocolate flavor we know and love with choc chip ice cream but an added 
  • HEALTH BOOST: I snack on these all the time too. They contain so many antioxidants that can help reduce cell damage in the body and the amounts of fiber in cacao nibs aids with digestion! So when you need that choc fix. Reach for the cacao nibs! 
  • AVOCADO: this dreamy fruit is not just for savory dishes! The creamy texture is so perfect when used in sweet dishes. I use them in smoothies all the time for this very reason. There’s very little flavor and all the textural and health benefits. Plus it helps add that beautiful muted green color! 
  • COCONUT MILK: here’s where we get CREAMY! Coconut milk is such a lovely base for non dairy ice creams. Rich and thick it gives the most amazing texture. This recipe is made with full fat coconut milk. For an even thicker consistency you could use coconut cream 🙂 
    PEPPERMINT: Extract the nostalgia!! I grew up lovingggg mint choc chip ice cream. That unmistakable wack ya in ya taste buds peppermint flavor will forever be in my heart. So it was so fun to recreate a plant based version! You can adjust the amount of peppermint extract to your taste

Creating your own bowl of vegan ice cream

Now, let’s make some magic! Blend together coconut milk, maple syrup, frozen banana, a touch of spinach (for color), peppermint extract, and frozen avocado until silky smooth. Then, stir in those fabulous cacao nibs, and scoop your nice cream into a bowl.

Toppings Galore

The fun doesn’t stop there! Top your nice cream with macadamia nuts, granola, and coconut for that perfect crunch and extra flavor. It’s a summer breakfast or snack bliss that’s not just tasty but also nutritious.

Mint Choc Chip Nice Cream is proof that you can have your ice cream and eat it too—anytime you like! So, grab a spoon and indulge in this guilt-free, dairy-free delight. Whether it’s a sunny morning or a midnight craving, this nice cream is always a good idea. Enjoy, my fellow nice cream enthusiasts! 🌿🍫🍦
